A media expert and counsel who've had experience in media interaction will discuss when "no comment" might be the best answer to a press inquiry and what to do when it isn't. Discussion also will cover how to make that decision, what kind of messages are effective and how to send effective messages.

Recently, leading companies have learned the hard way about being the victim of a breach of data privacy – even though they complied with regulations and standards. Data privacy compliance is a task that is becoming more difficult, and more critical, with each passing month, as more and more jurisdictions (state, federal and international) add to the regulatory matrix, and as private requirements (like the credit card industry's PCI-DSS) become more complex.

It is critical that employers respond promptly and thoroughly to employee complaints of harassment, discrimination or other unlawful workplace conduct. This session will provide in-house counsel with the necessary tools to address these issues and will take an in-depth look at what “prompt” and “thorough” means, and what the courts are expecting.

This session will look at lessons learned from various crises and specifically the true costs of compliance breaches.

This hilarious and highly interactive session will have you thinking hard about your interactions with the media. How does communication with the press impact the law? In-house counsel at any level will be sure to take home at least one new piece of advice as we address such topics as how reporters and editors think, how to deal more effectively with them, the legal ethics involved in communicating with the press, the consequences of press communication on government investigations, and much more.

Risk assessment is an ongoing and vital part of any compliance program. You can't control risk until you identify it and measure it. As part of your company's compliance process, your legal department needs to develop and monitor a comprehensive listing of potential risks. Hear from our in-house experts as they share their best practices for assessing corporate risks, and learn the tips and tools on how to implement a control-testing process at your company.
